I'm just south of Montreal right now, about a mile from the border at Champlain NY, going cross country in the morning then down I81 into Pennsylvania, not sure if I will make PA for the weekend or not.

 

Wow that is a load.....you ever get by here, gimme a shout Coffee is on me....unless of course you are minus the load then beer is on me

 

WOW! How long is that load??

I know you're not making it anywhere close to Texas but if you do a coffee or beer is on me too.

Drive safe!

 

What's your speed limit with that thing on?

safe travels.

 

It's in the ballpark of 135' long, I don't remember now, too much other pertinent info floating around my head. It's a breeze in the corners as the dolly in the rear steers also. I rolled it up to 70 mph once yesterday and it handled pretty well, one good dip in the road, or a jerk on the steering wheel could cause problems in a hurry, I usually keep it around 45-50 on the big hwys. On two lane, 35-40 mph will probably tie it right up, any faster just isn't safe.

This is part of a Marion 8200 dragline that was owned by NB. Coal, being moved to the potash corp phosphate mine in Aurora NC. This is load # 33 out of 130 roughly.

If any of you guys make it up this way I have beer in the fridge, hope ya like it cold.

 

Nace!*

*That's Aussie for nice.....

I'm a long way from you but looks like good work! Have one for me when you clock out!!

 

Wow. I'd like to see that rolling down the road. Have a safe drive!

 

Well it only took a week and a half ( due to organizational shortcomings back at the home office....), but I rolled on site in Aurora NC yesterday at lunch time, unloading tomorrow and heading home to see my new-ish girliefriend ( she has put up with me for a whole month today :-D )
